Terpene Analysis And Testing
Terpene analysis and testing refers to laboratory methods used to identify and quantify volatile organic compounds in cannabis plant material. Gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) are standard techniques that separate and measure individual terpenes like myrcene, limonene, and pinene. Accurate terpene profiling has become foundational in cannabis breeding programs, allowing cultivators to document chemical phenotypes across generations. Testing results inform selective breeding strategies and help establish reproducible terpene expressions within strain families. Analytical data also supports genetic archiving and seed bank documentation.

Breeders use terpene testing data to identify parent plants with desired aromatic profiles, verify F1 and stabilized line consistency, and track terpene inheritance patterns across crosses. Quantified terpene reports enable more precise phenotype selection than sensory evaluation alone.
